  Painting Spaces | 2013 - 2016

In my final year of studies at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, I focused on the relationship between painting and space. The aim of the thesis titled ‘Painting Spaces’ was to critically review my previous work in the broader context of both contemporary painting and art in general, but also in the context of today's ''extreme'' visual culture. The concept of the work lied in the heterogeneity of approaches to solving the painterly problems. Organically linked images within the set became a flexible-installable painterly environment. Formally, this thesis was a set of almost 80 acrylic paintings on canvas. The series included circular canvases with diameters ranging from 20 cm to 200 cm. It also served as the basis for further direction in my work. On a larger scale it examined the possibilities of painting, such a traditional medium with special qualities, in our ''post-medial'' world.
